Hopscotch Music Festival is an annual music festival in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. It is presented by the Independent Weekly, an alternative weekly newspaper, and takes place the second Thursday through Saturday in September.

Overview

Hopscotch Music Festival features local, national and international bands in just about every genre — rock, hip-hop, alt-country, heavy metal, dance, punk, classical, noise, drone, folk and more.

Other festival features include:

  • Band-curated bills — Festival organizers ask local bands to curate their own shows.
